Token launches have become a battleground where the fastest bots and most connected insiders consistently win, leaving regular community members holding the bag. When tokens launch on DEXs, what often happens is a chaotic race where:
  • Bots and snipers purchase massive amounts within seconds
  • MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) allows privileged actors to front-run transactions
  • Regular community members get priced out immediately or pay extreme slippage
This creates a fundamentally unfair system where technical advantages determine who gets tokens, not community contribution or long-term alignment. Platforms like pump.fun were meant to democratize launches, but they’ve created their own set of problems:

Whale Dominance

A small number of wallets can acquire 30-40% of the total supply within minutes

Exit Liquidity

Community members often serve as exit liquidity for these early whales

Price Manipulation

Large holders coordinate dumps, creating artificial volatility

Short-term Focus

Incentivizes quick flipping rather than long-term ecosystem building

​
Building a Better System

The ecosystem round addresses these fundamental issues by creating a level playing field where all participants have equal access based on their on-chain profile.

Fair distribution

Everyone gets an equal opportunity based on their tier

No sniping

Pre-deposit vault eliminates launch-day chaos

Best price

Secure your allocation at the lowest possible price

Verified access

Only approved participants can join
For $HOOP launch, we’re utilizing Meteora’s Alpha Vault system - a whitelisted pre-launch mechanism that ensures fair distribution at a fixed price. Each whitelisted wallet receives a maximum allocation limit based on their tier, allowing them to purchase $HOOP tokens at the fixed launch price before public trading begins. This creates a more equitable distribution where genuine community members and ecosystem contributors can secure their tokens without competing against automated systems or whale wallets.
Our ecosystem round is designed to ensure that those who genuinely contribute to the Web3 ecosystem are the primary beneficiaries of the token launch.
